  • A Colorful & Flavorful Feast: Chicken with Peppers Recipe

    Chicken with Peppers

    Chicken is a universal favorite among kids as well as adults. Its versatility makes it a favourite thing to cook. This one is not a spicy dish from heat point.
    It has a history for me as this Chicken with Peppers recipe comes from my mum. She created it as a menu option for no oil foods after my dad had a heart attack. By using this basic technique, I have made it with a number of different vegetables. After so many variations I still love this original version due to the ease of the recipe as well as preparation time. This is a yummy chicken dish with outstanding flavor that is easy to make.

    Fresh bell peppers cook up with economical and flavorful chicken in a quick and tasty stove top dinner. With just 1 tablespoon of oil, you can feed 4-6 people. How good does that sound?
